COMPLIANCE DETERMINATION Boys Report – Recommendation 3 Recommendation Summary:

2023 • Work continues towards building the foundation for the development, release, and implementation of a provincial policy directive that complements and aligns with Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning’s (MEECL) ongoing efforts to ensure anti-racism efforts throughout the K to 12 Education system. [...] • This work is connected to the K to 12 Education Action Plan, and intends to incorporate the context from two recently released inter-connected policy directives and reports: The Final Report of Poverty and Education Task Force (2023) and Safe and Caring Schools: A Policy Direction and Action Plan to Enhance Student Presence and Engagement (2023). [...] • Provincially-led implementation and information sessions have been held regarding Mamàhtawisiwin, resulting in the gaining of momentum for its implementation in schools and school divisions due to its clear articulation of roles and responsibilities for students, teachers, school leaders, school division leaders, and the department. [...] The finalization of the mentioned policy directive, and the full development and release of new curriculum outcomes, along with evidence of the implementation of MEECL’s own report recommendations on anti-racist education are needed in order for this recommendation to reach full compliance. [...] The information provided indicates the extensiveness of the work MEECL is in the midst of implementing in order to build an inclusive and anti-racist foundation to Manitoba’s education system.
